need help ive got a 2001 3/4 ton truck with the hydraboost braking power booster from the power steering pump is where this thing gets its presure to stop the thing. question is if you hold the brake rev the engine will you destroy the impeller on the power steering pump ive done this once and it wasnt pretty i just want to know if this could possibly happen again
Re: need help Pony killer,
I would expect that the pump has a pressure limiter built in (bypass valve, etc) and that you shouldn't have any problems doing what you describe (powerbraking a 3/4 ton truck, perhaps?). But, I'd check the owners manual and verify that there is not a "stern" warning against this type of behavior before you break something...just in case.
Good luck.
